oh yeah, the whole second season was a big improvement over the first, in general. I was a huge fan of The Mandarin, particularly the green-skinned version from this cartoon, since it moved him away from a lot of the unfortunate stereotypes he was created with and actually gave him a better story than the usual "wanna-be world-conquerer"
there's also a hilarious moment in season 1 where MODOK refers to Fin Fang Foom as a "reptilian jackass" - I was amazed they were allowed to leave that in the dialogue lmao
So is Century still rotting in some state penitentiary with who knows how many years still left due to his time with the Revengers while Simon walks around scot-free as a pacifist?

Avengers forever made him even more confusing.Moonraker was confusing.
Loved Force Works. The group and the concept were right up my alley.
"We live in a world of cowards. We live in a world full of small minds who are afraid. We are ruled by those who refuse to risk anything of their own. Who guard their over bloated paucities of power with money. With false reasoning. With measured hesitance. With prideful, recalcitrant inaction. With hateful invective. With weapons. F@#K these selfish fools and their prevailing world order." Tony Stark
I couldn’t stand the set, for the most part. The men especially had a gritting teeth constipated look and it always looked like they were being sprayed with black ink in their eyes.
I was a huge WCA fan but I completely skipped this book. I got a little tempted when Jimmy Chueng came on board but never bought an issue. As a matter of fact this is the era where I ended dropping most of my regular Marvel titles. The whole wannabe Image EXTREME Marvel stuff just didn't work for me. I think there was one point where I went from like 20 titles to 1 and that was Uncanny X-Men because Joe Mad was still doing the pencils. Every now and then the Force Works collection goes on sale on Comixology and I almost pull the trigger but I always change my mind at the last minute. I just don't think I'll like it so why spend the money.
